I didn't really know what to expect from Willow Smith when I saw she was on the lineup for the 9th annual Roots Picnic. I mean, my only exposure to Willow was Whip My Hair. But, whatever expectations I had for her prior to The Picnic were exceeded, as Willow performed a phenomenal show! And to cap off the set, Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff joined Willow on stage to perform Summertime, in Philly, during the Summer . . . the crowd went CRAZY!

3. Kirk Franklin - 20 Years In One Night

Location: The Criterion, Oklahoma City, OK

For some, Kirk Franklin is an artist that pushes the envelope, and tries too hard to fit in. For others, he's a musical genius and brilliant songwriter.

1. Tye Tribbett - Live Recording/GA Reunion

Location: The Fillmore, Philadelphia, PA

Most concerts last about an hour and a half. If you get your money's worth, 2 hours. Well, in July Tye Tribbett put on a 3 hour concert split between a live recording, and a reunion concert. Performing in both sets, Tribbett never missed a beat, or even looked like he lost any energy. Undeniablely, the best show this year.
